Quantum computing is an entirely new computational paradigm and can potentially solve some problems that current classical computers cannot solve. Quantum computing mainly adopts quantum superposition and quantum entanglement of quantum mechanics to process data so that quantum computing possesses a massive computational capability of quantum parallelism. Through quantum interference characteristics and quantum algorithms, quantum computing provides significant speedup for various problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the hardware development of quantum computers is maturing, the possibility of quantum computing having a significant impact on technology, society, and industry has also increased significantly. Therefore, applying quantum computing to solve key problems, cultivating experienced cross-disciplinary young talents, and constructing necessary applications and protocols are crucial tasks that Taiwan needs to pay attention to in developing quantum technology. Promoting the popularization of quantum computing education and learning is the key to further upgrading the national quantum technology industry to a higher level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since National Taiwan University (NTU) and IBM signed an agreement and established the \u201cIBM Quantum Hub at NTU\u201d<\/a> in January 2019, the NTU Hub has held annual users\u2019 meetings to foster and cultivate users in Taiwan, helping them familiarize themselves with and master quantum computing skills, as well as exchange users\u2019 experiences between different academic research institutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Besides the users\u2019 meeting, a Qiskit Quantum Computing Hackathon will be held at the same time. The Qiskit Hackathon will be organized and conducted by IBM Quantum Hub at NTU<\/a>. Potential Hackathon project ideas include but not limited to some popular topics on quantum computing: Quantum algorithms, Quantum information, Quantum finance, Quantum simulations, Quantum machine learning, Quantum error-correction, et cetera, and the participants may brainstorm and try to solve their selected projects under the guidance and assistance of quantum computing coaches from Taiwan. We welcome participants who are highly interested in or devoting themselves to quantum computing research and learning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This activity has been supported by the National Science and Technology Council, Taiwan, and will be conducted in the form of a Hackathon team competition. The outstanding groups will be selected based on theCompetition rules and rating criteria<\/span><\/strong>described below. The awards<\/strong><\/span> are as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
